[PATCH 4.17 54/97] x86/KVM/VMX: Add L1D flush algorithm

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Aug 14 2018 - 13:55:12 EST


4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a47dd5f06714c844b33f3b5f517b6f3e81ce57b5 upstream

To mitigate the L1 Terminal Fault vulnerability it's required to flush L1D
on VMENTER to prevent rogue guests from snooping host memory.

CPUs will have a new control MSR via a microcode update to flush L1D with a
single MSR write, but in the absence of microcode a fallback to a software
based flush algorithm is required.

Add a software flush loop which is based on code from Intel.

[ tglx: Split out from combo patch ]
[ bpetkov: Polish the asm code ]
